Pharaoh's Daughter

Pharaoh's Daughter, led by singer and multi-instrumentalist Basya Schechter, is a genre-defying collective fusing Jewish liturgical traditions with global folk, psychedelic rock, and world music influences. Rooted in Schechter’s exploration of her Sephardic and Ashkenazi heritage, the project weaves Hebrew prayers, Ladino melodies, and Mizrahi rhythms with instruments like oud, qanun, and African percussion. Their sound—described as "pan-cultural soul music"—often bridges ancient texts with modern arrangements, as heard in releases like *Daddy’s Pockets* (2019) and *Exile* (2014). Recent tracks like *La Sombra Del Viento* and *Ven Hermosa* showcase their signature blend of mystical storytelling and danceable grooves. Known for spellbinding live shows, Schechter collaborates with musicians across genres, maintaining a fluid lineup that mirrors the band’s borderless aesthetic.
